How do I filter someone who keeps morphing? If someone morphs to avoid kill-files, then you need to find something consistent about their headers that doesn't change from post to post. You may need to combine two or more common elements in their header to achieve this.
Say I changed my From field on every post, but you know I always post from sexzilla and I always post with Agent 1.5/32.451. You also know that nobody else on sexzilla uses this version of Agent. In this case you could filter me using the rule:
There may be other ways of dealing with the problem, besides dropping everything that comes thru Google. Nfilter supports scoring, for instance, and that could perhaps be used to separate the regulars who post thru Google from the trolls.
Anybody else post thru Google?

Agreed. I post through Google because it's portable AND free. I work in a large organization and it's not always clear where I'll be when I check-the-wreck at lunch time; but most any terminal will have a browser. That said, Google's interface has become almost unusable due to the volume of idiot's. Looks like I'm going back to a conventional news server -- maybe I can call it "retro" and pretend I'm back in the
80's! The whole concept of DeJa was just too cool even though their interface lacked a lot...
First of all, Nfilter reads its filter file only at startup. If you added this filter after starting the program, it won't see it. Click on Stop, then Start, to make it read the filters again..
If that didn't do the trick, click on Edit | Configuration | General, and make sure that the box next to "Enable Regular Expressions" is checked, then stop and start as above.
If it still doesn't work, try this instead
drop NNTP-Posting-Host:.*123\.456\..* then stop and start as above.
